  • Sony Killing Physical Games is Killing Our PS6 Hype - Beyond 952

    Sony Killing Physical Games is Killing Our PS6 Hype - Beyond 952
    Jul 8 2026
    Join the IGN Discord https://discord.gg/h2T45nkkm6 It’s been another rough week for the games industry. Most recently, Xbox’s ruthless “restructuring” has left thousands jobless, and shortly before that, Sony announced plans to discontinue the manufacturing of physical PlayStation games starting in 2028, which will likely eliminate more jobs in the long-term, and doesn’t exactly give us hope for what’s planned for PlayStation 6. This console generation kicked off in the middle of a pandemic and the countless issues that caused. Sony made a multi-billion dollar push into the live-service space, which has since backfired, meanwhile, chip shortages due to the AI boom have made gaming more expensive than ever. Now, on top of all that, Sony’s plans to go all-digital are making the walls of its walled garden even higher than ever. So, pardon us if it’s a little hard to get excited about next-gen. Beyond!

  • Everyone’s Celebrating Big Anniversaries Except Sony, What Gives? - Beyond 950

    Everyone’s Celebrating Big Anniversaries Except Sony, What Gives? - Beyond 950
    Jun 24 2026
    It feels like everyone’s celebrating milestone anniversaries… except Sony. The original PlayStation turned 30 two years ago, the PS2 hit 25, and the PS3 is now 20, and all of these brought with them some iconic game franchises. Aside from limited edition consoles and themes, Sony seems to be sitting on the sidelines. Meanwhile, the rest of the industry is going all-in: Resident Evil and Tomb Raider are celebrating 30 years with massive remakes, and Nintendo, Xbox, and SEGA are dusting off their biggest classics for modern audiences. In other news, we’re diving into the massive wave of recent game announcements that actually did get us excited. We’re talking Kingdom Hearts IV, GenATLAS, Mobile Suit Gundam: Rogue Orbit, Resident Evil Veronica, Rayman Legends Retold, and the two Star Wars titles we’ve been waiting years for: Zero Company and Galactic Racer.
